Figure F3. Uk´37 values and sea-surface temperature (SST) in sediments from Sites 1147 and 1148 are shown for the past ~3 m.y. as the thicker line. Temperatures were calculated using equation 2 (Prahl et al., 1988). The thin line with error bars represents temperatures calculated using equation 3 (Pelejero and Grimalt, 1997) for the South China Sea (SCS). For the temperature range in the SCS, the temperature difference between the two equations is almost within the error limits of the indexes.
